wHE LAND nooM.
Prices Way Up Among the stnrs-Tho Dan
gers to be Avoided.

The wonderful land boom Of the past year
has excited very general attention.
II has not been confined to any one locality
Tor, as Chauncey II. Depew said, after visit
70 the west, ''At nearly every one of the trade
centres we visited, we found extrayagant and
untenable views Of prospective real estate val
uea.
OF course the vast army of men engaged, in
one way or another in these enterprises were
10th to believe their views either extravagant
o. untenable. Both they and Depew are right
70 certain extent.
Land values have rapidly and perma-
nently increased in this country in the last
fifty years. This is especially noticeable i'll
the jumping west, along the lines ofnew
railroads.
Thousands of new cities have sprung up,
with q growth perfectly astonishing, and
great fortunes have been made in real es
tate.
Land values must continue to increase
generally, because the available area of land
N the country is now so small as to render
inevitable its entire absorption in a few
years.
One hundred years from now. at the pres
ent rate OF increase, our population will be
400 70 the square mile-twice as many as
~ the largest European nations.
TO be safe speculator, it is necessary to
study cause and effect, as the proprietors of
warmers safe cure did in preparing their
remedy. Its success is great because it
reaches the cause of disease Every drop
OF blood coursing through the system passes
through the kidneys. If they are in sound
working order, the blood is purified ii de-
ranged, poison that should be eliminated,
IS carried through the blood channels to
every part OF the system. The poison at
tacks the weak points, and so come the
long list of resulting ailments. Remedy the
cause, put the purifying organs in health
aud the whole system becomes healthy.
There must be a solid basis for a land
boom, however, or it will inevitably result
IN crash, entailing great losses and subse-
Quent injurious depression.
Two thousand dollars per front foot for
land in some cities might be a judicious in
vestment, in others, very indiscreet. 1t IS
wise to make investments of a character
indicating permanent if slower, growth
and increase of value.
